[QUOTE="Perkules, post: 28911, member: 945"] I haven´t built any loads yet. With Lapua factory Scenars I´m quite confident at 500 yds,moose or deer. The factory brake is pretty good IMHO and the Scenars shoot approx. 5/8 MOA / five rounds using a Harris bipod if I do my part. The light barrel heats fast so grouping takes time and some fouling shots are needed before it settles down. I have a Sako Optilock scope mount,it seems to hold fine. It is zeroed to 250 at the moment, 16 clicks takes it to 400 in my case and last tuesday I took a moose at 300 without problems. Not long range but 500 will be the max I´ll ever need over here. Janne Pohjoispää at Vihtavuori has shot a 70mm (less than 3") five shot group at 700 meters two years ago using Lapua factory 250 Lock Base ammo and a stock TRG-S. I talked to him yesterday and was surprised it was not Scenar. I also have a friend who is a professional shooting trainer for LEO:s and military, he shoots clays at 800 meters for fun with a stock TRG-S and hits 3 out of 4 with factory Scenars. A stock TRG-S is a poor man´s medium range rifle. It´s a lightweight hunting rifle after all.The brake makes a big difference,it is very easy to shoot and see your hits,the barrel doesn´t jump at all. I would not hesitate to re-stock this one, I do wish I had ordered the set trigger option but I didn´t know about it. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Anyway,I will report the 300 grain Matchking experiments when the boolits arrive. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I am hoping for a sub 1/2 MOA load for extra confidence... it may not be easy. Well, got some interesting accuracy load data from Sako test shooters for the SMK:s. Not for the max speed but that actually fits my medium range hunting purpose pretty good,considering the SMK behaviour at impact. Another long post... I like this board,folks. [/QUOTE]
